    • HELP NEEDED within old TV cubby, This is the cubby hole in our new home's living room and it is currently a nesting ground for all of our children's toys.  The cubby use to house one of those large big screen TV's that sat on the floor and is therefore the same size as one of those old TV's- 47 1/2 inches long by 59 inches high.

Some of the issues that we have are that it is home to a bunch of necessary cables that operate our current TV (which is housed in another cubby above this one), surround sound and lighting.  Therefore boxing it in completely isn't an option.  Please help me find a solution to this cubby  space that is both child friendly and not overly expensive!, Living Rooms Design

    • HELP! What should I do?, Hi everyone - We're closing on a home in June (Yeay!) and the kitchen isn't totally "awful" per se, but its not great. We don't have the funds for a total redo but I definitely want to do something to make it better. But how??

We were going to paint cabinets a dark cherry color and take down the wall between kitchen and dining room. I can't replace the counter top so I thought a brown and green theme but have to happen. Should I create an island in the middle or pushed against the wall?, Kitchens Design
